The Fray - Be Still

Damon PoV

"So Bella, when did Damon turn you?" Bonnie asked.

"He turned me around a year after we met, he didn't want me to be left vulnerable. We both made the mutual decision to turn me, I didn't want to age and eventually die whilst he got to stay all handsome and youthful," Bella joked. "My family all knew and accepted my decision, the only one left in the dark was my mother, I hadn't really heard from her since she shipped me to Forks and went travelling with her new husband, Phil. Plus she really couldn't be trusted to keep secrets, she was so flighty and irresponsible, I never thought to tell her. Damon was beside me every step of the way when it came to my transition, getting used to the thirst and the heightened emotions. He really was my rock and it made me love him even more."

Everyone looked at me expectantly, I felt Bella's warm harm slip into mine and gave it an affectionate squeeze, I squeezed back, pulling her closer to me as I prepared myself to tell the harrowing tale, I wasn't sure I was going to make it through without getting angry or upset. I didn't like others seeing me have a moment of weakness, it made me feel vulnerable.

"I'll tell them what happened on my side of the story, you can always take over if you wish," Bella told me, giving me a reassuring smile.

Everyone leaned forward a bit, all of them eager to hear what had happened, I didn't really want to hear the story again, it was bad enough living through it. Even Elena looked like she was concentrating on the story instead of playing with her nails like she had ten minutes whilst Bella was talking about Cold Ones.

"The day started great, the only downside was that I had to stay away from Damon, my sister Leah enforced it, saying it was tradition, she even jokingly threatened to snap our necks if we even looked like we were about to give in," Bella's soothing voice washed over me, despite the sad tale, I couldn't help the chuckle that escaped my lips at the mention of Leah's threat.

"My stepmother Sue, Leah, Leah's cousin Emily, Jacob's mate and another one of my close friends Angela Webber were helping me get ready. My mother had refused to come to the wedding, she was horrified that I would want to get married so young, she accused me of being pregnant," Bella rolled her eyes, "I told her that I didn't want her to be there anyway if all she was going to do is be negative. I told her forget about contacting me until she could see that I was responsible enough to decide if I was ready to get married."

"My father was going to walk me down the aisle, Angela, Leah and Emily were my bridesmaids and Damon had 3 shapeshifters as his groomsmen, Jacob, my step brother Seth and the current Alpha of the wolf back, Sam Uley. They all got along well and happily agreed to it, I was surprised when the Wolves accepted Damon so readily, they seemed to hate the Cullen's and were constantly trying to warn me off hanging with them. Jacob and Sam explained that it was the fact that they didn't trust the Cullen's, they saw how they manipulated and controlled my every move, they would tell me who was worthy of being my friend, they tried to dictate what I ate, what I wore and even tried to isolate me. I thanked them for trying to help me and apologised for being so stubborn, we all ended up getting trashed, Damon included, it was so funny, this huge pack of terrifying wolves, stumbling around the wolves, drunk of their asses," Bella and I both laughed at that, the others looked on stunned at her tale but kept quiet.

"The ceremony was beautiful, everything went perfect, Damon and I wrote our own vows, it was emotional, the vows were romantic. Then came the reception," Bella said, her voice faded into the background as I was sucked into a flashback.

Flashback

We had just finished up our first dance, everyone had clapped. Her father even looked like he had a tear in his eye as he watched, his wife Sue by his side, her arm wrapped around his waist. It was time to party and I couldn't wait to get my little wife drunk, she was a hoot when she was trashed, she lost all her inhibitions.

Bella had gone to change out of her dress into something more comfortable, I was tempted to go see if she needed a hand but the guests wouldn't like it too much if the Bride and Groom didn't reappear for hours.

I was walking to one of the side rooms so I could change into a pair of jeans and a black button up shirt, Bella didn't want everyone feeling stuffy at the reception so it was a casual dress affair. I took off the suit jacket and threw it on a near by chair, taking a sip of my whiskey, thinking about how the day had gone. Bella had looked beautiful when she walked down the aisle towards me with her father. Charlie had a proud look on his face as he looked at his blushing daughter, she had the biggest smile on her face. I placed my whiskey on the table, smiling at the memory. I couldn't believe that I, Damon Salvatore, one of the biggest man whores going, was married. Stefan would question my sanity if he knew.

The thought of my brother made me still for a moment, I wished that he could have been here but he had just gotten with Elena, a doppelganger of our original love and sire, Katherine Pierce. I wondered why he wanted to go through that again but he told me she was nothing like Katherine, she was kind, sweet, loyal and very much human. She seemed to attract supernatural danger and he had a full time job trying to keep her safe, Bella and I would be heading to Mystic Falls to go help out after our honeymoon in Rio, she wanted to enjoy the nightlife and see the carnivals. I almost chuckled when I pictured Stefan's face when I turned up with my wife.

I stripped off the white shirt and threw it on the chair, grabbed my button up and started to put it on when the door opened, I turned slowly to be confronted with a sight I never wanted to see again. Katherine.

She had a smirk on her face as she leant against the door, twirling a lock of hair around her pointer finger, I felt a growl rumbling through my chest. What was she doing here? Of all days she had to appear now? That's probably why she popped up, she was unhappy that I had moved on and forgotten all about her, she didn't want me but she didn't want me happy with anybody else, it was petty and I wasn't going to allow her to spoil my big day. She was my past, Bella was my present and my future.

Bella was everything that Katherine would never be, Bella had one of the biggest hearts I had ever seen, she would help anyone she could but if you crossed her, she could be a vicious bitch. Bella didn't dress like a slutty vampire whore. Katherine would spread her legs for anyone that she deemed fun or she could get something from them. Bella never put me down, she would never put me through the hell that Katherine had unleashed on mine and Stefan's life and Bella would not cheat and lie to me, unlike the bitch in front of me.

"What are you doing here Katherine?" I spat, disgust obvious in my tone, her eyes widened slightly.

"I missed you Damon, didn't you miss me?" She cooed; an innocent look plastered on her face.

"I can't say I have actually," I shrugged, irritation flashed in her eyes.

"Don't lie to me Damon, if you didn't miss me then why did you marry someone who looks like me?" She grinned. I snorted.

"The only thing you have in common with my wife is the brown hair and brown eyes, you could never match her in personality or looks," I smirked, a scowl marred her face.

"Are you telling me she's better looking than me?" She scoffed.

"That's exactly what I'm telling you."

Katherine pushed herself off the wall and sauntered towards me, she tried to make herself look sexier by swaying her hips but it didn't hold the appeal it did over a hundred years ago, she looked like she was trying too hard. She tried to place her hand on my bare chest but at the last moment, I gripped her wrist hard, smirking as pain crossed her features, I could feel her wrist bone grinding underneath my grip. She looked into my eyes and paused.

"Come on Damon, we were so good together, we could be good again," she whispered, trying to free her wrist but I just gripped harder in response.

"Until someone else comes along you mean? Did you forget you can't compel me to love you anymore?"

"I never compelled you to love me Damon," She lied.

"Bullshit, I remember everything you compelled me to do when I transitioned. Get it through your head that I don't want you anymore, in fact I despise you," I smirked, releasing my grip on her wrist before pushing her away from me. My skin crawled just being in the same vicinity as her. Anger quickly replaced the shock on her face.

She tried again to get close to me but I wrapped a hand around her throat and pinned her to the wall, leaning in closer to her, her eyes focused on my lips and I'm pretty sure she thought I was going to kiss her.

"You disgust me Katherine, I'm free from any hold you ever had on me, you will never get me again. I'm sure you have another dozen of play toys to occupy yourself with."

She quickly squirmed out of my hold and moved to the other side of the room, anger shining brightly in her eyes, she was not expecting me to push her away, that's for sure. She soon covered the anger by grinning at me cockily.

"Fine, you may play with your little wife for now but one day you'll come crawling back to me, you can't stay away from me Damon, you did spend 100 years trying to find me."

"Just leave Katherine, so I can forget all about you already. If you ever come near me or my wife again, I'll put a stake straight through that black heart of yours," I spat.

She quickly left and I finished getting dressed, downing the rest of my whiskey. I couldn't believe that she would show her face around here. She was so full of herself and thought that every man wanted her, it was far from the truth. She was just easy, that's why men went to her, they recognised easy when they saw it. She would then get inside your head and try to manipulate you, if that didn't work then she would make threats and use violence. She hated to be told no.

After I finished changing, I went back to the main reception room, looking for Bella but I couldn't find her. I quickly found Charlie and asked him if he'd seen Bella.

"No son, I haven't seen her since she left to get changed, I'm sure she's umming and ahhing about what to wear," Charlie chuckled, shaking his head.

I decided to go and look for her, I didn't like the thought of her being alone with Katherine around, she was bound to try something spiteful and she had been gone a while. I headed to the room that I knew she was using as a dressing room; along the corridor I froze as I smelt two scents I didn't want to smell near Bella. Katherine and a Cold One. Why would a Cold One be here? I didn't know any Cold Ones, in fact I couldn't stand that species and the only ones Bella knew were the ones that had abandoned her when she was 17. Why make an appearance now?

The closer I got another smell invaded my senses which my blood run cold, Bella's blood and a lot of it at that. I ran the rest of the way, inside my head I was begging any and every God and Deity that Bella was okay, she was a vampire but still not invincible.

I threw open her door and froze at the scene before me, my heart stopping at the sight. My beautiful Bella was pinned to the wall, a bronze haired cold one was feeding from her, I snarled and launched myself at him, throwing him off her and into the wall, taking off one of his arms in the process, not realizing that he was still latched onto her throat and tore a piece away as I threw him, watching as the wall cracked and almost gave out. I threw his arm to one side, a steady snarl raising in volume as I stared at the red eyed demon who had assaulted my wife, my vision become fuzzy as a red haze covered everything. I could guess from Bella's story who this was, Edward. Bella's ex. He was currently glaring at me whilst his remaining hand covered the stump where his arm should be.

Fury flooded my veins as I crouched in front of my fallen wife, hopefully giving her enough time to heal, why was here today? It had been 4 years since that family had abandoned her in the forest like garbage. She hadn't heard from any of them at all. I had been with her for 2 and a half years and none of them had made an appearance or seemed to want to. I was going to tear this pathetic excuse for a vampire apart, he tried to ruin our special day. Edward growled at me and went to speak but Bella cut him off, her breathing ragged.

"Damon," her pained whisper came from behind me.

I spun around, paling at the sight of her. I quickly went to her, gathering her in my arms as I sat behind her, keeping an eye on the sparkles whilst taking stock of her injuries. Her throat had a chunk missing from it, blood was pouring out, the edges looked red and irritated, the venom was making it harder for her to heal. She had multiple bruises on her that I could see, her wrists, her throat. Her wrists also had been sliced, they were healing very slowly, blood was still coming out.

"Bella," I bit my lip so she couldn't see how upset I was, she was going through enough.

"What happened?" I asked, Edward was snarling, trying to creep forward but at my snarl he shrank back into the wall.

"I-I was about t-to get changed when E-E-Edward came barging in, he had a woman with him, h-her name was K-K-Katherine. They taunted me for a while b-but then Katherine attacked, she pinned me against the w-wall. She sliced my arms open so they bled, s-she was stronger than me and the b-blood loss was starting to kick in. Apparently my bl-blood is still a thing for Edward who attacked," she whispered, stuttering on a few words.

One of her pale hands was over the wound in her neck, quickly staining it red. I was torn between tending to Bella and tearing Edward apart, but I soon realised that Bella needed urgent attention, I could rip about Edward at a later date, he wouldn't hide from me. I stood up slowly, then helped Bella to her feet who swayed slightly, she needed to feed immediately. She would be okay though, the wounds would heal, she just needed a bit of time, I placed a small kiss on her head. I smiled at her weakly before her face turned to a look of horror, before I could see what was happening, I was pushed to one side by Edward.

I got up quickly, but I was too late, by the time I was facing him, he had his hand through her chest, gripping her heart tightly.

"If I can't have you, no-one else can," he smirked before drawing his arm back, taking her heart with it.

I cried out in agony as my little mates eyes widened in disbelief, her eyes dropping to where his hand lay before slumping to the floor, her eyes staring lifelessly at me.

"Bella! No!" I cried out, rushing towards my mate.

I gathered her in my arms and held her close to me, sobbing as I begged her to come back to me, that I needed her with me. I begged to every God that I knew that they bring her back, that she belonged with me. They weren't allowed her, yet it didn't seem they were listening. I glanced round the room to see that Edward had disappeared, not for long. I would hunt him down and destroy him for what he had taken from me, Katherine too. Sire be damned.

"Please Bella, please don't go baby," I murmured into her hair, rocking her lifeless body.

I don't know how long had passed before a group of people burst through the door, my vampire face came out and I growled at them, my mind screamed that I knew these people, they were Bella's family and a few of my friends but my mind wasn't rational, it just saw threats to my downed mate.

"Oh my God, Bella!" Leah, Bella's stepsister screamed, holding her hands to her mouth in horror at the sight before her.

"No! Bells!" Charlie choked out, staring at his daughter, a heartbroken expression on her face. Sue and Leah were holding him close.

I continued to rock her, placing a kiss every now and then on the top of her head, my mind blank as I thought about turning the switch off but deep down I knew I couldn't. It wouldn't be fair to Bella if I didn't allow myself to feel her death, it would somehow mean she wasn't important to me. The other stood there crying in disbelief and shock, what should have been the happiest day had turned into a nightmare.

I sat there holding Isabella, ignoring all attempts to get her off me, the angry words the wolves roared when they smelt Edward's scent and the heart-breaking cries around me of Bella's family. All I could think of was the future Bella and I had planned, after we had been to Mystic Falls, we were going to travel, we were going to see the world. I hadn't seen this coming, I was angry too, so very angry. I wanted to tear off head, I wanted to hunt down Edward and deal him a slow, torturous death. He had left me with nothing, Bella held my heart and now it was gone. He took away the only good thing in my life. Katherine would pay too; she would suffer and nothing would get in my way.

End of Flashback

I came back to the present just as Bella finished the tale, I could see the tears in the girl's eyes, the anger in Kol and Stefan's eyes. I glanced at Elena, she almost looked happy, when she saw me looking, she changed to a sad expression. This human was really starting to piss me, if my brother didn't love her as much as he did then I would have thrown her out on her ass months ago. She reminded me too much of Katherine.

"Did you kill this Edward?" Kol asked me, raising an eyebrow.

"Of course I did, he thought he was so clever, that he could hide from me but I found them, they were in Alaska, by then he had his golden eyes back and never told anything to his family. Alice knew what had happened but couldn't see the point in telling the others. I tore them all apart, burned them and then danced on their ashes. It may not have brought Bella back to me, but it made me feel slightly better to know that those monsters couldn't harm another person." The others nodded in understanding.

"Now, as nice as it has been to meet you all, I would like to spend some time with my husband," Bella smirked at me, downing the rest of her scotch before standing up. Kol and Lexi snickered.

Bella pulled me up and started to pull me out of the room, up towards the stairs, towards my bedroom.

"Don't forget to come up for air Bella," Lexi grinned teasingly.

"Yeah girl, you've got 5 years to make up for," Caroline winked.

Elena's jaw dropped and I could see jealousy contorting her features just as Bella pulled me out of the room.

"You mean, they're just going to leave us down here whilst they go and have sex?" Elena asked, sounding appalled, Bella rolled her eyes at me.

"Well I hardly think they are going to invite us up there to join in Elena," Bonnie sighed out.

"Don't we have more important things to think about? Like the fact Klaus wants to use me as a bloodbag? To create more of his little minions?" Elena spat. Here we go, Miss Centre of Attention at it again.

"Not tonight, no Elena. Damon's just been reunited with his wife after being apart for 5 years, they deserve some time together. We aren't going to interrupt their reunion any more than we already have," Stefan replied sternly.

We made it to my bedroom soon after, I shut out the conversation downstairs, I had more important things to concentrate on right now, like my hot little wife. She smirked at me before pushing me through the bedroom door, slamming it shut behind us with a wicked gleam in her eyes.
